Suriya and Mohanlal star in Kaappaan.

The team of Suriya starrer Kaappaan is currently in Java, Indonesia where the makers are filming a song, according to director KV Anand. Anand took to Twitter and wrote: “Kaappaan. Song shoot in Java island.”

The film also stars Malayalam actor Mohanlal in a crucial role. It is rumoured that Suriya plays a bodyguard to the Prime Minister of the country, which is played by Mohanlal. Kaappaan, which also stars Sayyeshaa, Arya, Boman Irani and Samuthirakani, confirmed that the film is gearing up for release this August.

Suriya shares screen space with Mohanlal for the first time in Kaappaan, which has been directed by KV Anand. In a recent Facebook live chat, Suriya opened up about working with Mohanlal in the film.

“He is the best (actor) we have in our country. We have learned about acting through his movies. I was introduced to Malayalam cinema with Kilukkam, Kireedam, Spadikam and all his wonderful films.”

Suriya said he takes reference for his films from his work. While most actors struggle to perform in front of a camera, Suriya said that even if there is a magnifying lens right in front of his face, Mohanlal will make it disappear.

Telugu actor Allu Sirish was originally roped in for a crucial role. He later chose to exit from the project and revealed the reason via a statement. Arya was eventually signed on to replace Sirish and the grapevine is that the former plays a negative role.
